We’ve learned that if we can make it easy for service teams to improve and publish accessible forms, these teams will make things better for millions of people. So we’re starting an alpha to explore what this might look like.

We ran a discovery to work out what Government as a Platform components we should look at next. In this post, we talk about our findings and why we're now looking into how services, particularly those without access to a software development team, can more easily collect information from their users.

We are working hard on Government as a Platform to make sure user researchers are doing the right job. We've had some problems figuring out what that job is at times. So we've developed eight principles for how to be a user researcher on Government as a Platform.

About Government as a Platform

This blog is about our work with departments and agencies to build common components that can be shared and reused to make it easy for service teams across government to design, assemble and build services.
